The Bicycle and Pedestrian Data Subcommittee of the Transportation Research Board invites you to join in a conversation with colleagues about issues involved when using big data such as Strava to improve bicycle and pedestrian counts.
Conversations about Counting: Big Data
Implications for Bicycle and Pedestrian Traffic Analysis
Jun 26, 2018 at 11:30 PM PDT
Objectives of this discussion-centric conversation are:
- To introduce methods, issues, and considerations when working with big data
- To provide an overview of bias in big data and fusion of multiple complementary types of data
- To build the community of practitioners and researchers who are advancing the nonmotorized traffic monitoring field
The majority of the time will be an opportunity for participants to ask questions and to discuss their experiences with big data. The Subcommittee particularly encourages participation from people who have experience with and curiosity about making decisions with big bicycling and pedestrian data.
Members of the Bike and Ped Data Subcommittee will facilitate the conversation. Participants will include:
- Host: Krista Nordback, PhD, PE, Senior Research Associate, UNC Highway Safety Research Center
- Speaker: Frank Proulx, PhD, Researcher, Toole Design Group
- Speaker: Greg Griffin, AICP, Assistant Research Scientist, Texas A&M Transportation Institute
